Hyatt Regency's new resto-bar gets local and beery

Hotels aren't usually great spots for locals, unless you're looking for one around the Six Flags area, which interestingly, aren't really there for you to Sleep Inn. Giving you non-shameful, quite awesome reasons to hang in one of ATL's most famous hotels, Twenty-Two Storys.

Opening tomorrow, TTS's the Hyatt Regency's new local-welcoming bar/ eatery, boasting a beer-infused menu plus a grip of brews and ATL-inspired cocktails served amidst full-length windows and booths with built-in beer taps, deriving its name from the building's height (downtown's tallest when it opened in '67), and spelled as such as a shout-out to its "Y"-shaped interior sculpture, which helps explain why this place is so fun to stay at. Almost all edibles include beer as an ingredient, from apps like Terrapin-plum diver scallops and Georgia Brown Ale aged cheddar soup w/ bacon croutons, to breaded-ness like the Lambic-infused onion-jammed Kobe flat iron wrap, and the maple-smoked pork sammy with BBQ sauce made from cracked pepper, which isn't Mad pepper, but'll still make you feel like a Newman. You can build burgers (Angus, chicken, or shrimp) on a biscuit or bun w/ various sauces (root beer BBQ, charred tomato salsa...) and toppings like pecan coffee-smoked bacon; there're also entrees like Negra Modelo-/ lime-brined pork belly tacos and stout-braised short rib, plus desserts including a vanilla float made with ice cream infused with 420 from Sweetwater, proving it's possible to think just about anything is sweet after 420ing.

As for beer-infused beers, they've got crafts like Sweetwater Sch'Wheat, 3 Philosophers Quadrupel Belgian Ale, and 10.5% ABV Gulden Draak Triple, plus house cocktails like the Gent Jack/Cointreau "Olympic Gold", and the peach-garnished "The Storys Classic" -- a pronouncement you'd almost always come away with after spending a night, or at least an hour, on Fulton Industrial.
